Climb Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain and the third highest volcano in the world. Teide is the symbol of Tenerife and one of the most impressive places on the island.

Discover the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a cosmopolitan, modern and cultural city. In Santa Cruz you can enjoy its lively atmosphere, its gastronomic offer, its museums and its monuments. Don’t miss the Auditorium, an architectural masterpiece designed by Santiago Calatrava, the García Sanabria Park, a green oasis in the city centre, the Museum of Nature and Man, where you can learn about the history and culture of the Guanches, the island’s ancient inhabitants, or the Nuestra Señora de África Market, where you can buy local products and sample typical dishes.

Relax on the beaches and in the natural swimming pools of Tenerife, where you can bathe in crystal-clear waters and enjoy the sun and sand. Tenerife has beaches to suit all tastes: from the long, golden beaches in the south, such as Playa de las Américas or Playa del Duque, to the wild, black beaches in the north, such as Playa del Bollullo or Playa de Benijo. You can also cool off in the natural pools formed by volcanic lava, such as those at Lago Martiánez or Garachico.

Experience adventure in Tenerife’s theme parks and water parks, where you can have fun with attractions for all ages. Tenerife has some of the best theme and water parks in Europe, such as Loro Parque, a zoo with more than 300 animal species and incredible shows, Siam Park, a water park inspired by Thailand with vertiginous slides and an artificial beach with giant waves, or Aqualand Costa Adeje, a water park with pools, slides and dolphins.
